Christmas.

As COMMUNICATING the birth of the
founder Of the Christian religion, it is q
religious feast. But in the popular APP
prehension its religious character has
been superseded by it's social and char
liable significance. 1t has become the
feast of good fellowship in the highest
s~ense-good fellowship with a religious
sanction. Nominally it is the birthday of
the founder of Christianity. Practically
1t is the day of st. Nicholas, the feast Of
Santa Claus, the patron OF all chilaren.-

County Expensos.

The Pickens Sentinel has a practical
article on county expenses and county
economy. The Sentinel says at would
be a great saving to the county to bor-
row money at ten per cent. per annum
in order TO dclray the expense OF all
kinds OF public work, the price OF which
is not fixed by law. In these days OF
quick sales and short profits. there is
nothing like the ready cash TO make goods
and labor come low. If either must be
furnished on time the county has to pay
at least twenty-five per cent. more for
getting the same work done that it would
have to pay if the money could be paid
spot cash. This fact has been ~recogniz.
ed by several counties in the State, and
they have secured the necessary lcgisla-
ton to allow money TO be borrowed at
the discretion OF the county commission
crs within certain limitations. Any one
will be convinced Of the wisdom or this
suggestion, if he will get from an expcr-
fenced bridge builder the cash and credit
prices and compare them. Some plan by
which money can be kept in the treasury
to meet expenses promptly would contri
bute more to economy in county affairs
than any system Of horizontal reduction
IN the fees and salaries OF public officers.
Any one will admit that its economy Tor
q maj to borrow money at ten per cent.
instead Of paying time prices Tor his sup.
plies. The same rule will hold in pro-
curing goods or labor Tor the county. II
IS an experiment well worth trying"
